"That's the inaugural fllight headed for L.A. and it'll be a huge boon to the area. A lot of people worked hard to make sure that flight happened from EDCO, COVA, the Chambers and all the cities involved. A lot of people contributed time, money and effort to see it."

The celebration send off will be at 7:15 a.m. Thursday morning at the Redmond Airport.

Passengers on the flight will receive VIP services and a "red carpet" welcome as they board the inaugral flight.
